In New York, the real Fall starts with October, a month that still gives you a mix of warm and cool days, few rainy days, and beautiful foliage landscapes in city parks such as Central Park, or along the Boulevard such as Park Avenue, or in the north part of Manhattan. This is the perfect time to take long walks and take wonderful photos back home with you, or enjoy a cruise around the Island of Manhattan, or perhaps celebrate the Oktoberfest at Bear Mountain State Park.

What to See in September - Events September

Since September 11th, 2001, the city of New York brings a feeling of unity and solidarity. On this day, we remember the attacks at the Twin Towers, the commemorations are many, all are aimed to remember and honor those we lost while being together united; a triumph of human dignity and valor over the depravity of terror by affirming the fundamental value of human life. Of all the most engaging celebrations is certainly the Tribute in Light, the light installation that on September 11th projects two beams of light and illuminates the place where the Towers once stood bringing them back to life. The lights projected toward the sky can be seen at a great distance.

• With Labor Day, we say goodbye to the Summer, the last weekend of the summer season is September 2nd to the 5th but as usual in New York, we even celebrate the end of Summer with big celebrations.
• September 4th, is the day dedicated to Brazil, Brazilian Day, to celebrate the Independence in Brazil. Brazilian music and colors fill the street of Little Brazil near Times Square. The next day, you can instead attend the extravagant and colorful Caribbean Parade - the New York Caribbean Carnival held in Brooklyn with dances, music and lots of typical Caribbean foods. A tip for you, if you want to participate, but you do not like to be in the middle of crowded places with lots of people, go early on in the morning, as time goes by, temperatures, crowds and more will rise .... The true Parade dedicated to Labor Day will be held on September 10th, the parade celebrates Workers, and departs from 44th Street going towards 67th Street along the Fifth Avenue.
• Fashion Week of September hosts the greatest fashion designers. Many of the events are invitation-only but for some you can buy the Fashion Week - All Shows
• Remember Little Italy for the Feast of San Gennaro (September 15th – 25th) the most popular Italian festival. Although Little Italy is no longer the historic Little Italy we once knew, during the Feast we can find some authentic Italian vibes with Italian musicians, foods and vendors. If you want something even more authentic, you will find it in Arthur Avenue, the Little Italy of the Bronx. You can go there with our licensed New York City Tour Guide Irene.
